Buddy Holly could also have died a year earlier,he was due to fly from Texas to Florida,but the pilot refused to do so,for there was reports of a snow storm somewhere along the route,Buddy offered him either $500 or $750 to get him there,and the pilot said something like:-'You could offer me a thousand and I still wouldn't do it!',then history repeated itself,this time in Iowa at the end of 'The Winter Dance Party' tour,everyone was tired and fed up,and decided to get to the next town as quickly as possible,and since the tour bus kept breaking down,buddy decided to hire a,it is unfortunate that this time he chose a much less experienced pilot!
